Flagship No Longer Owns Hellgate London (5th Update) on Hellgate Guru has
been updated a few times since it was referenced here yesterday
(story). One update clarifies that Korean Hellgate distributor
HanbitSoft informed them that they do not have any claim to take of ownership of
Hellgate: London, but rather it is the IP for Mythos that was used
as collateral for a loan they made to Flagship, and that Flagship has turned
down their offers of additional loans to keep them afloat. And apparently such
loans would have been necessary, as
Voodoo Extreme is capping all this news off by reporting that Flagship has
lost the rights to the Hellgate and Mythos IPs, has let all of its staff go, and
their offices are being closed today. VE reports that
HanbitSoft now owns
Mythos, while investor
Comerica Bank owns Hellgate: London. Their conclusion is that development of
both games for Asia is likely to continue, while the future of each for western
audiences is unknown at this point.

Also something that is becoming more prevalent on Blue's News...the newest generation of gamers seem to be spoiled, crass and shallow.

Most of the people on this site have been gamers since the 70s or the 80s, imbecile.

Coincidentally, those were ALSO the people who said, right from the start, that the whole "You're RENTING content for 10 bucks a month, we're under NO OBLIGATION to actually DELIVER that content and you can pay us 150 dollars now with again NO OBLIGATION on our side to actually deliver anything, oh and we're going to have in game ads, ALONG with our 50 dollar game AND monthly subscription fee" was nothing but a way to make as much money as fast as possible before Roper and his homos fled the sinking ship.(Jesus, long run on sentence alert...)

And guess what? We were all right. What's wrong kid, got tricked into spending 150 bucks for nothing? Or are you now frantically refreshing the online services page, hoping that that unsubscribe button will be put back soon?

Maybe next time you'll listen, huh?

Here, let me throw you a freebie. Call your credit card company and tell them to no longer allow the monthly charge. Problem solved.
